Abstract: A catheter (12) has a metal deflection beam (30) with rectangular cross-section and one or two fiber puller members (28A, 28B) for predictable on-plane bi-directional deflection. Each fiber puller member is anchored at its distal end to a respective surface of the beam by a metal ferrule (31A, 31B) that is crimped onto the distal end. The ferrule is shaped to provide a flat outer underside that can lie flat against a beam surface and a thin planar distal section that is welded to the beam. With a distal end of the beam sandwiched between the thin planar distal section of two ferrules, the ferrules and the beam can be welded together by a single laser pulse.

Abstract: The manner of determining the morphology of cokes and chars consists in analyzing the microscopic microsections of coke from one microscopic view with the preferable magnification of 100x, in reflected light. At first a binary black and white image is created, of the largest surface possible, by increasing the contrast between the solid phase of the coked substance and the cross-section of pores, and then there are created the images with strengthened anisotropic effect in polarized light with a retardation plate or interference-differential contrast, increasing the magnification multiple times, preferably 5 times. In turn, based on the images with strengthened anisotropic effect, there are determined the grey color gradient vectors within the area of the isolated textures, and the respective fibrosity indices are calculated, and then the average index is calculated in the form of one dimensionless value on the basis of the linear additivity law, taking into account the weight in the form of volumetric shares, determined through prior quantitative analysis of textures. The fractal dimensions are determined both based on binary images and on the images with the strengthened anisotropic effect.

Abstract: For accelerated pixel-recursive processing of an image signal, an image is divided (91) into multiple segments, wherein each segment has a non-overlapping kernel area and a surrounding overlapping band, and the pixel values in the overlapping band are copies of corresponding pixel values from two or more adjacent kernel areas. In parallel a pixel-recursive processing (921,922,...,92n) is carried out within each one of the segments, independently from the processing in the other segments. Pixel-recursively processed pixel values are selected (931,932,...,93n) from the kernel areas of the segments, but not from the surrounding overlapping bands, and are merged (94) so as to reconstruct a pixel-recursively processed version of the image signal. This kind of pixel-recursive processing can be applied in an HRM processing used for generating disparity maps in a stereo and multi-view camera system.

Abstract: A low-e insulating glass unit has a suspended, coated IR reflecting polymer sheet under tension, e.g. from heat shrinkage. The polymer sheet is coated with a multilayer stack of dielectric and metallic layers, including at least one silver layer deposited upon a zinc oxide seed layer that is at most 15 nm thickness. The use of zinc oxide ensures good seeding for high quality silver layer growth, thereby providing low emissivity. The thinness of the zinc oxide ensures that it resists cracking when the polymer sheet is tensioned.
